bell bell bell —

The alarm clock rang suddenly, Matthew opened his eyes, reached out and turned on the switch, the desk lamp lit up softly, even though it was pitch black outside the window, he put on his clothes and quickly got up, walked to the bathroom, and shouted to his roommate who was still sleeping soundly. Said, "Mike! Get up!"

Michael Sheehan tried his best to open his eyes and asked, "Is it time?"

Matthew's voice came from the bathroom, "Hurry up!"

Today, the filming of the war scene officially begins. Unlike the previous days, you can sleep until dawn. Helen Herman warned last night that she must get up at three in the morning and rush to the studio outside the town before four.

By the time Michael Sheehan got up, Matthew had finished washing up.

"I'll take a seat first." He opened the door, "Waiting for you in the restaurant."

"Okay..." Michael Sheehan stretched.

The second floor of the hotel was quiet, and it seemed that few people had woken up. Matthew walked along the stairs to the first floor. After entering the restaurant, he found that the buffet breakfast had been prepared. There is only one person dining in the restaurant.

Matthew walked over specially, "Good morning, Helen."

The only person who dined was Helen Herman. She remembered the company's first customer and nodded, "Morning, Matthew."

"Can I sit here?" Matthew motioned for the seat opposite her.

Helen Herman didn't mean to refuse, "Sit whatever you want."

Matthew put down the dinner plate, pulled out the chair, sat opposite Helen Herman, and said casually, "You wake up earlier than the actors every day."

"You observed very carefully." Helen Herman meant something.

Matthew did pay special attention to Helen Herman these days, and appeared in front of her from time to time.

Obviously, Helen Herman noticed it, but Matthew was not embarrassed at all, and said directly, "I'm just a little curious, you can actually get the role of the "Gladiator" crew."

Helen Herman smiled formulaically, "Good luck."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Matthew didn't ask any more questions, and concentrated on breakfast. It was estimated that he would be busy all day today.

Halfway through breakfast, people entered the dining room one after another. Helen Herman put down her knife and fork, picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth. She stood up and said casually, "I'm done, you continue."

With bacon in his mouth, Matthew was inconvenient to speak, so he simply nodded to her.

As soon as Helen Herman left, Michael Sheehan hurried over with a dinner plate, sat next to Matthew, and asked curiously, "I just saw the boss of the Angels here, what are you talking about? What? Are you going to soak her?"

Matthew gave him a pair of white eyeballs, "Do you think this is possible?"

"Impossible!" Michael Sheehan peeled an egg, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "What are you talking about?"

Matthew didn't hide it, and said, "I asked her how she got these roles."

Matthew is not the only one who is curious, but Michael Sheehan is also very concerned, "Have you asked?"

"No." Matthew shook his head, "This woman is very tight-lipped."

The two of them finished breakfast and came to the outside of the hotel. The night sky was dark, but the street was brightly lit. Nearly fifty extras from the Angels Company quickly assembled. Under the leadership, they left the town and came to the edge of the woods.

Countless headlights were raised high around the woods, dispelling the darkness of the night sky and illuminating a large area nearby as bright as day. More than 20 makeup trailers were lined up sideways, and more than 50 makeup artists and their assistants were already in place. .

Standing outside the make-up trailer, Matthew saw Helen Herman say a few words with the bearded man, and then walked back.

"We are now divided into two teams!" Helen Herman exclaimed. "One team follows Amanda to do makeup! The other team goes to change clothes with me!"

The extras were quickly divided into two teams. Michael Sheehan wanted to go to the makeup team, but was pulled into the changing line by Matthew.

"What are you doing over there? We all have beards glued to our faces."

After the rehearsal yesterday, Matthew specifically asked someone to ask, "It's not even four in the morning, and the crew will start filming after nine at the earliest. Is it comfortable to stick the glue on your face for five hours?"

Michael Sheehan hurried to Matthew's team.

Epic movies are very troublesome to shoot, especially the actor's modeling. Matthew has not been idle except for rehearsals these days. He is active in the crew and has chatted with many assistants or handymen. Don't look at them as extras. At 4 o'clock, I will line up to do makeup and styling. The main actors will not come to the set until 7 o'clock. The actor Russell Crowe is a famous star who is difficult to serve. It is common for him to be late for ten minutes or even half an hour.

This is the prerogative of stars.

He has been in three production crews, and Matthew has found it. Extras or ordinary actors are waiting hard, and big-name stars are late. It seems to be the norm.

He has only been in three crews, so I don't know if this is a common phenomenon.

Matthew lined up and walked to the trailer where the costume crew was. It was just four o'clock in the morning, and the entire "Gladiator" crew was fully operational.

In this day and age, "Gladiator" can definitely be regarded as an A-List production in Hollywood, especially for this war scene, which involved more than 1,000 actors, plus staff from various departments of the crew, this small area , gathered more than 2,500 people at once.

Matthew passed by in front of the trailers of many departments. It was like a large-scale machine with precise operation. The entire crew was in an orderly manner, and there was no sign of panic.

"Is this the crew of the industrial age?"

Compared with the behemoth of the "Gladiator" crew, the "Soul Shifting Girl" crew can only be regarded as a small sparrow.

The team came to the vicinity of several trailers in the costume team and gradually stopped moving. Matthew waited quietly. There are hundreds of extras gathered here. Even if the crew works efficiently, it will take a while.

The wait lasted for more than an hour, and it was Matthew's turn to enter the trailer until the sky turned white. The extras were all passers-by, and it was impossible to have a special style design. The costumer looked at his figure and found it. He was dressed in coarse cloth and took a faux fur shawl to help Matthew put it on.

The clothes were a bit small and didn't fit very well, but the passers-by were not so particular about their characters. The costumer looked at them again and patted Matthew's arm, "Okay!"

Finally, Matthew put on his worn shoes and walked out of the trailer crookedly like a savage.

"Go over there and do your makeup." Helen Herman was waiting near the trailer, indicating the direction, "Hurry up."

"it is good!"

Matthew responded and lined up in front of the nearby makeup trailer. His costumes were a bit thick. Fortunately, it was cool in the morning in Los Angeles in March. If such a scene was filmed in summer, the extras would have been so exhausted that they would have fainted from the heat.

When the sky was bright, it was finally Matthew's turn to put on makeup. Sitting in front of the makeup trailer, a female makeup artist first messed up his short and medium hair, and then called the assistant next to him to put a beard on Matthew's face.

Matthew has watched a lot of Hollywood commercial epic movies, and the male characters on them left him the deepest impression, that is, most of them, regardless of whether they are handsome or ugly, have a beard.

This uncivilized Germanic barbarian was no exception.

The assistant found a fake beard with basically the same color as Matthew's, and started to stick it on his face with special glue. Unlike Matthew's imagination, the beard was not glued one by one, but the finished product was glued to his face.

With so many extras, if one beard sticks to one beard, it is estimated that these fifty or so makeup artists plus their assistants will be too busy until this time tomorrow.

Matthew guessed that the sticky beards should be the treatment only the main actors can enjoy.

After the beard was glued, he painted some ghost-drawing talismans on his face. After a long time, the glue on his face made him very uncomfortable even if it was used for make-up.

But he couldn't scratch or scratch with his hands, otherwise the shape would be ruined, so he could only endure it.

Finally, Matthew came to the props group to receive the weapons used by the barbarians.

This is much sooner. A props master saw that he was tall and strong, and specially gave him a two-handed battle axe. The shape of this axe with double-edged looks quite powerful, but Matthew was very light in his hand. It is not a metal product at all, it is probably made of plastic or resin, at most five or six pounds.

So far, a mighty barbarian warrior has been successfully released.

Carrying the mighty two-handed tomahawk, Matthew was guided by the crew to the edge of the woods. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com and other actors waited for the filming to start.

Matthew specially asked someone to ask, it's already past eight in the morning!

It took more than four hours from entering the group at less than four o'clock to the completion of the modeling, and most of the time was waiting.

The legs are sore and the feet are a little numb. Some people even look tired and sleepy.

But if you want to appear in the film, even if it is a flash, you have to continue to wait.

As time passed, the sun rose higher and higher, and Matthew could see that the cameras, booms, tracks and other equipment were all set up, and it seemed like they could start filming at any time.

The bearded man walked over with an old white man in his fifties or sixties, and Helen Herman followed them, looking very familiar.

"Okay, guys!" Bearded said in a high-pitched voice, "Get up and get ready to shoot!"

He looked at the white old man, saw him nodding, and said loudly, "Okay, get ready now! Follow our rehearsal."

"Quick!" Matthew felt pulled, it turned out to be Michael Sheehan, "That old man is Ridley Scott! Let's move on!"

It's not just Michael Sheehan, there seem to be a lot of people in the extras who have this idea and want to squeeze to the front, it seems that this way they can appear in the camera lens, for a big director like Ridley Scott. Left a deep impression.

Michael Sheehan is one of the activists. Taking advantage of his height and physical strength, he used his shoulders to fight hard. He directly wanted to grab the person who was short in front and squeezed into the tree. He grabbed another person's clothes and grabbed him. The front appears at the front of the entire queue.

He seemed impatient to appear in front of Ridley Scott.

In just ten seconds, these extras became a mess.
